[Verse 1] The fork I used today at lunch Been in mouths a thousand deep But I smiled, took the bite, Swallowed questions I can’t keep [Refrain] If the early bird gets the worm Why do good things come to those who wait? Why’ve I never seen a baby pigeon On a rooftop or a gate? [Chorus] Oh, why though? The world spins strange, I know Why’s a building called a building When it’s already built and standing so? Oh, why though? These questions steal the show If it don’t make sense, I sing it anyway ‘Cause wonder’s the way I grow [Verse 2] Cinderella’s shoe fit just right So why’d it slip off that night? And if the pizza’s round and sliced in threes Why’s the box a square in sight? [Refrain] If it’s indescribable Aren’t we doing what we say we can’t? Rush hour crawls like molasses Yet we still follow the chant [Chorus] Oh, why though? The logic’s running low If I’m clean when I step from the shower Why’s my towel dirty though? Oh, why though? Apartments all in rows They’re not apart, but pressed up side by side Still that’s what we chose to show [Bridge] Shipping goes by truck Cargo by the sea Sponges soak it up Though they’re holey as can be [Refrain] The fridge light glows at night Saying, “Come on, take a bite” But they say it’s wrong to eat that late Who decides what’s wrong or right? [Verse 3] Do stairs go up or do they fall? If a fly can’t fly, what’s it called? Quicksand’s slow, go figure that And why’s a beef patty a hamburger snack? [Refrain If I drop the soap on the bathroom floor Is the floor now clean, or the soap impure? I’m not trying to be deep or clever Just stuck in wonder forever [Final Chorus] Oh, why though? I guess we’ll never know But these little thoughts Are the sparks that make me glow Oh, why though? Let the questions flow ‘Cause life’s a riddle wrapped in mystery And I like it just so [Outro – softly] Yeah, I like it just so… Oh, I like it just so…
